Too much need
Too much value in my need
Anxiety
A head full of conversation
Meditation
An anesthetic for the mind
Made it go away
Somehow
I am left with a peaceful
Empty head.

Moving
A girlfriend at the movies
Big brother's first date.
Playing in the snow with sisters
Joined by friends
Playing jokes on the neighbors
and laughing forever
Suddenly it's gone
We're moving on
It feels like a whole world dying
but then it starts again
and every new beginning
has an end.

Loneliness My Friend
When I am alone
I can sing
and write
be naked
Look any sloppy way I want
Talk to myself or sit quietly inward.
When I'm with you
we are both fidgeting and
stuttering, sweating, and
wishing for a revelation
to give us something to say.
There are people everywhere
surrounding and watching
listening to catch a word
of our silent conversation
Loneliness can be much more fun.

Blossom
Blossom among blossoms
Millions of wild flowers,
Coloring the meadow
Yellow, White, Lavender
Soaking in the sunshine
Flaunting their fragile petals.
Dark clouds and wind
Warn of a spring storm
The fields blown and beaten
Hail burying the flowers.
Among millions of dead blossoms
The tip of a petal
breaks through the ice
One lonely surviving flower
Among millions destroyed
Wondering, "Why me?"

Exposure
My body quivers
Closing my eyes in fear
Exposed and blistered
The naked truth
Stretched out
For everyone ro see,
What has become of me.

The Preditor
Looking for the right victim
Someone timid, vulnerable
With the softest whimper
He watches, follows
Stalks, then pounces
And bounces
Tears out her insides
And when he's through
His need to hurt and
Destroy satisfied
He leaves the ragged, naked
Ended life.

Forever Things
Baby books to
Year books,
Blue ribbons and
Valentines, birthday cards
And a Mother's Day
Bouquet
Posted on a card by me.
From town to town
State to state
Desert scalds and icebergs bite
Draughts, floods,
Tornados and quakes.
In the end
It's all there
The pieces of a life we've saved
For someone to cherish
In a future day.
